Channel 4: Nationalism in China

August 13th, 2006 by James

The UK’s Channel 4 has posted a video news report about Chinese Nationalism on its website. The report focuses on how anti-Japanese nationalism has mutated out of control and has become a major problem for the Chinese government. Meanwhile, some Chinese youth are frustrated by their government’s abandonment of communism and harsh nationalistic policies, and are venting this frustration like any normal person would: by dressing up like nazis. Watch the report here.

Before anyone reads the following tongue-in-cheek quote, I want to re-affirm the fact that I’ve already lost any arguments that might be started because of it because of who it quotes :P

“Its desire to remain racially pure is a proof of the vitality and good health of a race. Pride in one’s own race – and that does not imply contempt for other races – is also a normal and healthy sentiment. I have never regarded the Chinese or the Japanese as being inferior to ourselves… They have the right to be proud of their past, just as we have the right to be proud of the civilization to which we belong. Indeed, I believe the more steadfast the Chinese and the Japanese remain in their pride of race, the easier I shall find it to get on with them.”

- Adolf Hitler
